Time flies

Good morning, Good evening, Good afternoon,

It surprises me that my last blog from the UK was in January 2011. Mainly because I have been meaning to continue on with my posts for some time. Alot has happened for me since that time. My family and I have moved to Vancouver, Canada and we are so happy with our lives right now. We have embraced the way people eat here and have jumped feet first into the diverse melting pot of cultures and cuisine. I have so much to tell and share over the coming weeks and months........................

I transferred from the Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire to Four Seasons Vancouver in late July 2011. We moved here to Canada to pursue my goal of becoming an Executive head chef of a Four Seasons hotel. I started my career at the tender age of 18 at The Langham Hilton Hotel in London and am now 35 nearing my career dream of becoming the lead chef in the kitchen of a hotel in this luxury hospitality company.

Moving from the UK to The West coast of Canada has been a revelation to me as it has opened my eyes to a completely different way of feeding people and my family. With a new lease of life in this blog i hope to share some of my new found passion for healthy tasty recipes. These inspirations come from our banqueting department, Yew restaurant in our hotel and the incredible talent of sous chefs and line cooks that i have the pleasure to work with week in, week out.

The format and content of this blog will change from the past posts as i am not the restaurant chef anymore but oversee everything in all outlets.

Please leave feedback as you see fit and leave notes on trends that are relevant where you are currently. And if you are ever in Vancouver, please stop into Yew restaurant and bar to say hi..

Mate, so happy for you and Denise. I am sure all the hard work will pay off, I remember our days at the Goring as great ones. Hopefully one day we'll hook up again. Congrats on the move and I hope it all goes well for you all. Dazza
